We work out the complete descent via 4-isogeny for a family of rational
elliptic curves with a rational point of order 4; such a family is of the form
$y^2 + x y + a y = x^3 + a x^2$ where $\sqrt{-a} \in \mathbb Q^\times$. In the
process we exhibit the 4-isogeny and the isogenous curve, explicitly present
the principal homogeneous spaces, and discuss examples by computing the rank.
